Best tyres?
Just got my first sv650s today!! Love it, but it needs new tyres. Any recommendations that don't cost too much as I spent all my cash on the bike

Re: Best tyres???
PP 2CT's are a pretty decent price at the mo. For fairly moderate riding, you could see 6-9k on a rear (yes it is possible)
